You will want to declare a file resource whose source refers back to
your 'wireshark' module on your puppetmaster:
file { 'C:\Users\vita\Downloads\Wireshark-win32-1.8.0.exe':
ensure => present,
source => 'puppet:///modules/wireshark/Wireshark-win32-1.8.0.exe',
}
Then place the Wireshark executable on the puppetmaster, e.g.
/etc/puppetlabs/modules/wireshark/files/Wireshark-win32-1.8.0.exe,
with the appropriate executable mode, e.g. 0750.
When the Puppet agent applies the catalog, it will download the file
if necessary, and then execute it. However, as currently written,
Puppet will execute the wireshark installer every time it runs. You
will need to use the `onlyif` or `creates` parameters for your exec
resource so that Puppet performs the exec if wireshark is not
installed.[1] For example, `creates => 'C:\Program Files
(x86)\Wireshark\wireshark.exe'`
Finally, we are working on updating the package provider to support
non-MSI types, such as NullSoft that Wireshark uses.[2]
